 Paneer Biryani

Now coming back to the recipe..This is a simple yet flavourful paneer biryani..I love paneer so much, but nowadays i am substituting paneer for tofu. I think they both have the same texture, but tofu is a lot more healthier..This biryani has so much flavour in it since we are adding a good amount of coriander leaves.Great for parties or for lunch box. I hope you will love it as much i do.
